All those unused story outlines, those great character names that don&#39;t belong to anything I&#39;ve yet written, those sharp observations and pithy phrases that just need something be fitted to - I keep them all on the back burner. Literally - I have a folder on my hard drive called &#39;The Back Burner&#39;. Someday, I&#39;ll do something with them.Paul T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01182809634096660758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643092331729126387.post-55625177809462043332017-04-02T17:11:11.090+01:002017-04-02T17:11:11.090+01:00Going through my third childhood with grand childr...Going through my third childhood with grand children I squirrel away (maybe) useful junk, wondering what possibilities to create...<br /><br />Beautiful image of grief/hard times, re-created, good for/with God. <br />More than once I&#39;ve thought, &quot;Had I not been in a bad place, would I have understood or been able to help.&quot;RanDomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844392412629405776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643092331729126387.post-20416659837651849582017-04-02T15:29:15.117+01:002017-04-02T15:29:15.117+01:00I learned to be careful what I said when mine used...I learned to be careful what I said when mine used to bring these junk models home. &#39;Oh, what a lovely model of a monster, darling. You&#39;ve got its ferocious expression just right!And the scaly skin. And those horrid claws.&#39; &#39;It&#39;s not a monster, Mummy. It&#39;s you.&#39; Oops.

Although I probably led them on: when the older two were around 3 and 1, they had hours of fun playing with (and in) an empty food-mixer box I gave them!
